Summer with the Pine Twins

Little Dipper: Part 5

Dipper's p.o.v.

We sneak into the living room where we watch Bud and Gideon eat ice cream before Gideon licks his hands and demands for Bud to clean him. After that's done we hear him ask "Father, could you give whittle ol' me a ride to the Mystery Shack?" "Oh, I'd love to sugar pie but I've a heck a lotta cars to sell, yes I do, yes I do."

Bud answers before he starts tickling Gideon who shouts "No. No! DON'T TICKLE ME! NO!" He throws the tub of ice cream at the wall, making a mess as he continued to shout. "Never, never tickle me! What have I told you?! What have I- Look at me! What have I told you?!"

"Ticklin' is no laughing matter," Bud answer with an apologetic face, jeez Gideon was worse than I thought, he starts patting his father. "There we go." "Do you still need a ride?" "I'll just take the BUS!" He grabs the flashlight, knocks over a table, and storms out of the house. 

"Precious memories," We heard Bud sigh out, ok I think I'm starting to see why Gideon is so entitled. We follow after Gideon through the doggie door and I say "We need to get higher." "Uh yeah, especially you, cuz you're short," Mabel teases again and I give her a blank stare when (y/n) points up at the dollar sign balloon with wings. "Up there!" After climbing up we sit on the stubs of the lines and see Gideon sitting on the bench at the bus stop, conversing with Lazy Susan before being picked up by the bus.

"He's heading to shrink Stan!" (y/n) shouts in worry and Mabel starts kicking the dollar sign stating "Oh flying discount dollar if only you could fly us back to the mystery shack," I look down at it and notice the rope holding it down as an idea pops in my head as I said, "Maybe it can."

I use my multitool to cut the rope and the dollar takes off Bud quickly running out in a panic. "My sky-high prices!" We fly over the town and use the wings on the dollar to help us follow the bus before flying past it to the Mystery Shack and landing on the totem as I say "We're just in time."

 I point as the bus approached. "But how are we gonna stop him?" I ask when a woodpecker starts hitting at me and (y/n) and I try shooing it off Mabel soon pointing at the stringed up flags that led to the Giftshop roof. "Leave that to Mabel," We zipline down the string and Mabel throws the rest of her gummy koala into his hair, stopping Gideon.

"I'm sorry gummy friend," (y/n) pats her back. "It's for the greater good," We watch him start to mess with his hair. "Oh! Ew! One of those infernal gummy koalas has gotten into my hair!" He drops the flashlight as he continues to mess with his hair, pulling at the gummy until it came out. "I can't defeat Stan lookin' like this," He approaches a mirror and starts spraying himself as we climb down. 

(y/n)'s p.o.v.

We approach the flashlight and Dipper turns it as Mabel hops behind stating "Quick and I'll regrow you." "Ok- wait! You're gonna grow us back to equal height right?" Dipper asks and Mabel and I give him a look as I tell him "Dipper, that doesn't matter right now!" "Well if it doesn't matter why doesn't she just do it?" "Ugh! Why are you acting so weird?! Why can't you just accept that I'm a little bit taller than you?" Mabel asks and the two start to argue when I notice Gideon walking back. "Mabel, quick grow him back!" I say but the two were too busy arguing.

"I'm acting weird?! You're the one who keeps calling me names and stuff!" "Guys!" I shout as Gideon got closer. "Oh what? You mean like-" "Don't say it!" "GUYS!" I shout getting their attention before we all look up at Gideon. "Little Dipper," Suddenly we were grabbed and raised up to his face. "I dare say you would've defeated me if it wasn't for your sibling bickering," He holds us tight as he grabs the light and busts through the door, shining the light shouting "The shack is mine Stanford Pines!" "NO!"

We screech as we watched Grunkle Stan's fez fall to the floor. "Well, well Stanford it appears I've finally got the best of you-" He cuts himself off when he lifts the fez to reveal Soos. "What?!" "Alright, something's definitely different around here," All three of us were shoved into that jar as he shook it demanding "Tell me where Stan is!"

"Never! You'll never find Stan! In the second door to the left down the hall!" Soos shouts before realizing his mistake. "Wait...Why did I say that?" We were shoved in Gideon's pocket as he called out "Stanford! I'm comin' for ya!"
